learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal
conditions. Field Day is open to all amateurs in the areas
covered by the ARRL/RAC Field Organizations and countries within
IARU Region 2. DX stations residing in other regions may be
contacted for credit, but are not eligible to submit entries.

1800 UTC Saturday and running through 2059 UTC Sunday. Field Day
